The Premier (and Chief Troll) of British Columbia Christy Clark really has doubled down on her ongoing and always nasty political war games.

Trumpian delusion and inflated ego are Clark's only defense from reality. Clarki in 'defusion' mode brazenly and blithely now speaks for all BC citizens attempting more deflection - that this is all just passing fluff and throws up that 'people' just do not really care at all about this political party to party stuff. Sorry Ms Clark, only in your self obsessed sparkly smile.

Again Ms Clark, you show your serial arrogance and disrespect for all BC citizens. We want honest, caring and competent government, not corrupt, incompetent, and self interested maurading. We are fed up with you and your bullying sand box gang of Pirates.

@christyclarkbc says she jumped to same conclusion as others given knowledge that hack attempt on @bcliberals came from computer at #bcleg——————————————————---------------------------------------------------------The Daily Show's Michelle Wolf, shows how the nasty sausage is made, Kellyanne unscrambled:

Christy clark took a gamble and may have won. She retracted, so no law suit and not much attention was paid to the report on the death of the young man.

When Trump was casting about how to get elected, he might just have taken his lesson from Christy Clark. As I've asked before and will again. what is the difference between Trump and Christy Clark? Ya I know, not much

"The B.C. government hired a Liberal party staffer into a supposedly non-partisan communications post, only to allow her to return to party organizing less than a month into the job.

Kirsten Hamilton was hired in January as an events coordinator in the government’s communications wing, after a three-year stint as events planner for the B.C. Liberal party.

On Wednesday — four weeks into her taxpayer-paid gig — Hamilton’s managers allowed her to take a day off work so she could return to her old party position and volunteer to help organize a noon-hour B.C. Liberal press conference in downtown Victoria, where Premier Christy Clark unveiled her Vancouver Island candidates in a campaign-style rally.

Technically, it’s allowed under the government’s rules.

Yet it highlights the long-standing and ethically dubious guidelines around how partisan staffers can do party work while also holding jobs paid for by the public dime."

Sadly, a majority of BC voters ,after being bombarded by tax payer ads and photo ops, only seem to recognize Christy Clarks name without knowing any details or connecting the name to any scandals when they vote on election day. Misinformation, spin, deflection, and maintaining power at all costs occupies most of Clark's daily agenda.Self promotion and constant campaigning is the core of her method of governing, not the interest of citizens.

Christy has apologized. So sincerely she left it on John Horgan's voicemail. I'm hoping John presses ahead on the ground that he hasn't received a real apology. From what I heard of it, she reminded John "we all jump to conclusions from time to time [parenthetically implying he really should apologize to her, as well]."

Some apology. But the real news here is that the NDP has finally landed a left hook deftly floated in behind her searching right jab---something that never happen in the last campaign---confirming the one of the two things Christy and the BC Liberals fear the most: an opponent who's not afraid to mix it up. Finally we get to see how light the prancing majorette really is.

The second thing the BC Liberals dread is the fact that, unlike last time when there was at least the plausibility that Christy would improve once she'd gotten her own mandate, she comes into this campaign an unmitigated disappointment---the prancing majorette persona is actually the whole package, a cheerleader, not a premier.
